It is one of a series of areas selected for detailed mapping to document important structural and stratigraphic relationships at the mountain front of the east-central Brooks Range. This publication presents a geological map, cross section, correlation of map units, location index, and map unit descriptions. Purpose: Local field studies by the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) began in the area in 1982 and continued intermittently in conjunction with other field studies. In recent years, interest in hydrocarbon exploration in the Brooks Range foothills has increased considerably, resulting in an opportunity to compile previous studies as well as to carry out additional field studies to address specific structural and stratigraphic problems.

Attribute information for the following layers (entities) is included in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribution_Information" section.

Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Geologic point, line, and polygon data were mapped in the field using color infrared aerial photographs at a scale of approximately 1:63,360 and topographic maps at scales of 1:63,360 and larger. Feature attributes were verified by the geologists who conducted the field observations. To check attribute accuracy, a check plot was visually compared to the geologist's original compilation. Discrepancies between the digital geospatial dataset and the original analog or digital compilation were corrected as needed. The geologic interpretations presented in this report have undergone one technical review by a geologist familiar with the subject of the report and the geology of the map area. The reviewer's suggestions were incorporated into the final draft when deemed appropriate by the authors. Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon topology is present and clean on the originating geospatial dataset. All polygon features were topologically validated using the ESRI ArcGIS 9.0 software prior to export to shape file format. The logical consistency of the point and line files has been visually checked but not systematically verified. Completeness_Report: This data set includes field and air photo observations distinguishable at a scale of 1:63360. It includes geospatial information about beds traceable on air photos and/or in the field. The dataset displays: geologic units and contacts; inferred geologic contacts; fold and fault traces; strike, dip, and fold axis attitude. Samples were collected for petrographic, age, and/or geochemical analysis. The degree to which analytical data was utilized in developing the geologic interpretations presented in this report is unknown. This dataset does not include point locations of samples collected. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Locations were determined in the field using visual identification of land forms, rivers and creeks, and other physiographic features on topographic base maps and with hand-held Garmin GPS units. The positional accuracy of features which were visually identified is not precisely knowable, but thought to be accurate within 5 meters in areas of high topographic relief and good rock exposure. The error is possibly more (not more than 15-20 meters) in very low relief and/or highly vegetated terrain. The estimated positional error calculated by the GPS units was not recorded but is thought to be less than 5 meters. Bedrock geologic map data also have a horizontal positional accuracy dependent on the "on-screen" method of digital cartography. Map error is induced by: (1) transferring map data from base topography to a Mylar compilation map, with an estimated potential error due to a pen line width of approximately 0.001 inches being equivalent to approximately 1.5 meters on the ground; (2) the digitizing RMS error (30 control points on a regular grid have an average RMS error of 14.0 meters on the ground; individual control point error ranges from 2.9 to 24.0 meters on the ground); and (3) the accuracy of the human operator digitizing the geologic line work from the topographic base map, with an estimated error due to a pen line width of approximately 0.001 inches being equivalent to approximately 1.5 meters on the ground. Summing up all the above potential horizontal errors, the average potential horizontal error for bedrock geologic map features is estimated to be less than 20 meters.

Geologists recorded observations on 1:63,360-scale topographic base maps and/or similarly scaled aerial photographs. Field notes and rock samples were collected at stations throughout the map area. Locations of sample sites and orientation measurement stations were confirmed using handheld GPS units. Geologists' observations were analyzed relative to the interpretations of previous workers and compiled onto a single mylar base map. Samples were collected for petrographic, age, and/or geochemical analysis.

The original acetate overlays used to produce the Hamilton, 1979, 1:250,000 scale map were individually scanned and orthorectified, using Orthomapper, and then georeferenced and superimposed, via ArcGIS, over orthorectified, photomosaiced and georeferenced 1:63,360 scale aerial photographs. The surficial unit contacts were then refined to reflect the 1:63,360 scale of this map. Areas which warranted further study were checked in the field.

Geologic polygons, linear features, and point data were digitized "on-screen" and attributed with appropriate supporting information. The surficial geology interpretaions were superimposed over the map units defined in the bedrock mapping and the datasets were merged. All final map layout and editing was done in Adobe Illustrator, Version CS2.
